Lifeboat (1944)
Disappointing work by Hitchcock
In my eyes, the Director was always very much into the details but in this film he committed several gaffes: the way Tallulah looses her camera and then the typewriter and finally the bracelet with the fish is quite ridiculous for people in the middle of the ocean starving for many days without food and water, and that's my 2nd gripe: they never express any hunger or needs to eat or drink. Actually they are eager to have whisky instead of water and the poor amputee drinks seawater but he wasn't with all his marbles already after loosing his leg.
All in all a good movie that keeps you interested in what's coming but it's not the impacting and suspenseful Hitchcock that I'm used to.
The Refuge (2019)
Stay away from Keith Sutliffe !
If he puts together the money to run this movie he conned many people already. Then he starts directing and acting it and he conned me too. The grace shot is when he somehow put together a story that doesn't add up nor make sense, that's when he finished me off. Why didn't the Webb boy jump in and told Keith to stop the nonsense? Because they are cut from the same mold....... the total emptiness. I give you 2 stars because of the nice night shots of LA.
If you wanna learn how NOT to make a movie, watch The Refuge !
Chronik der Anna Magdalena Bach (1968)
Whadda waste of time and resources!
If you value your time spare yourself the torture to see a MOTION PICTURE without MOTION. Of course you can go to a concert and see an orchestra and choir while listening to Bach but here these 2 characters Huillet and Straub just spoiled everything because there's no movement in the movie at all, there's no zooming in to the period instruments or the costumes of performers, let alone showing the magnificent surroundings of a cathedral or an altar.
The zipping down of the women's voice that's supposed to be the wife and narrator reading at high speed about local happenings of 1738 Prussia is also not acceptable. Big disappointment!
